I watched this movie downloaded in December 2018 twice. I thought about Baidu twice during the watching process. Why did I download this movie at that time? , why?

I don't know until the end of the movie, I plan to finish writing and then go to see the reason for downloading at that time.

The movie is actually very simple, and everything is reasonable. It is very naive to watch the behavior of the 18-year-old actor at the age of 30, but if you are that age, you will find that everything is acceptable. of. Maybe this is the power of youth.

All the actions of youth are impulsive, thinking that all their thoughts, all actions are right, out of justice, and all the words that try to teach you are feudal, old, and decadent. Because of our own immaturity, in those years of youth, we are all about to spend our own lives.

The 18-year-old male protagonist has always been brooding about the trend of his mother. He believes that his stepmother is the culprit who killed his mother. No matter verbally or physically, he attacks it. When he is not responsible for his own behavior, it belongs to youth. Age chooses the most common way, escape. I found a woman who resembled my mother to peep and peep, and maybe "fall in love" with her later. In the end, he nearly retaliated against his stepmother, and finally learned of his true intentions of her mother's death. Only to realize that all the hatred in the past was in vain.

This is our youth. Most of us spend our youth plainly, but there is a certain point that makes us suddenly grow up, and suddenly let go of what we once couldn't understand, dissatisfied with, and relieved. Except for the selection of certain nodes, the rest have to be handed over to time.

Last but not least, as the old saying goes, the family of origin affects a lifetime.

The film tells the whimsical life of Haarlem, a young man who believes that his stepmother killed his biological mother.

10 points movie, personal evaluation 5-6 points, not worth watching again.

    The main line of the story is that the rebellious boy of Oedipus suspects that his mother was murdered by his stepmother, and slowly isolates himself from the world. He likes a person who hides in a tree house and "observes" others from a distance. He says that he is peeping, not for "you The kind of reason imagined". The part that explores the mystery of the mother’s death is almost "Butterfly Dream", which is considered one of the shortcomings of this film, but the scene where an angry Hallam went home and tied his stepmother and threw it into the river finally reminded me of "Young Adam". If the story comes to an abrupt end here, I like it better. It's a pity that the director was not so cruel. Hallam suddenly turned to rescue her stepmother and gave her artificial respiration. Then, she came back to life without saying a word, looked at him coldly, and turned away. The director said that this was dark enough for a 17-year-old boy.
